THE NAME OF WASHINGTON. 

Sons of the youth and the truth of the nation, — 

Te that are met to remember the man 
Whose valor gave birth to a people's salvation, — 
Honor him now ; set his name in the van. 
A nobleness to try for, 
A name to live and die for — 
The name of AVashiugton ! 

Calmly his face shall look down through the ages — 

Sweet yet severe with a spirit of warning ; 
Charged with the wisdom of saints and of sages ; 
Quick with the light of a life-giving morning. 
A majesty to try for, 
A name to live and die for — 
The name of Washington ! 

Though faction may rack us, or party divide us. 

And bitterness break the gold links of our story, 
Our father and leader is ever beside us. 
Live and forgive ! But forget not the glory 
Of him whose height we try for ; 
A name to live and die for — 
The name of Washington ! 

Still in his eyes shall be mirrored our fleeting 
Days, with the image of days long ended ; 
Still shall those eyes give, immortally, greeting 
Unto the souls from his spirit descended. 
His grandeur we will try for ; 
His name we'll live and die for — 
The name of Washington ! 

Geo. Paksoks Lathrop.

THE CONSTITUTION 



OF THE 



GENERAL SOCIETY. 



It being evident, from a steady decline of a proper celebra- 
tion of the National holidays of the United States of Amer- 
ica, that popular concern in the events and men of the war 
of the Revolution is gradually declining, and that such lack 
of interest is attributable, not so much to the lapse of time 
and the rapidly increasing flood of immigration from foreign 
countries, as to the neglect on the part of descendants of 
Revolutionary heroes to perform their duty in keeping be- 
fore the public mind the memory of the services of their 
ancestors and of the times in which they lived ; therefore, 
the Society of the Sons of the Revolution has been instituted 
to perpetuate the memory of the men, who, in the military, 
naval and civil service of the Colonies and of the Conti- 
nental Congress, by their acts or counsel, achieved the Inde- 
pendence of the country, and to further the proper celebra- 
tion of the anniversaries of the birthday of Washington, 
and of prominent events connected with the war of the Rev- 
olution ; to collect and secure for preservation the rolls, 

(9) 



10 

records and other documents relating to that period ; to 
inspire the members of the Society with the patriotic spirit 
of their forefathers ; and to promote the feeling of friend- 
ship among them. 

The General Society shall be divided into State Societies, 
which shall meet annually on the day appointed therefor in 
their respective by-laws, and oftener if found expedient ; 
and at such annual meeting the reasons for the institution 
•of the Society shall be considered, and the best measures for 
carrying them into effect adopted. 

The State Societies at every annual meeting shall choose 
a president, a vice-president, a secretary, a registrar, a treas- 
urer, a chaplain, and such other officers as may by them 
respectively be deemed necessary, and a board of managers, 
all of whom shall retain their respective positions until their 
successors are duly chosen. 

Each State Society shall cause to be transmitted annu- 
ally or oftener to the other State Societies, a circular letter 
calling attention to whatever may be thought worthy of 
observation respecting the welfare of the Society or of the 
general union of the States, and giving information of the 
officers chosen for the year ; and copies of these letters shall 
also be transmitted to the General Secretary to be preserved 
among the records of the General Society. 

The State Societies shall regulate all matters respecting 
their own affairs, consistent with the general good of the 
Society ; judge of the qualification of their members or of 
those proposed for membership, subject, however, to the pro- 
visions of this Constitution ; and expel any member, who, 
by conduct unbecoming a gentleman or a man of honor, 
or by an opposition to the interests of the community in 
general or of the Society in particular, may render himself 
unworthy to continue in membership. 



11 

In order to form funds that may be respectable, each mem- 
ber shall contribute upon his admission to the Society and 
annually thereafter, such sums as the by-laws of the respec- 
tive State Societies may require ; but any of such State 
Societies may provide for the endowment of memberships 
by the payment of proper sums in capitalization, which 
sums shall be properly invested as a permanent fund, the 
income only of which shall be expended. 

The regular meeting of the General Society shall be held 
every three years, and special meetings may be held upon 
the order of the General President or upon the request of 
two of the State Societies, and such meetings shall consist 
of the General Officers and a representation not exceeding 
five deputies from each State Society, and the necessary 
expenses of such meeting shall be borne by the State So- 
cieties. 

At the regular meeting, a General President, Vice-Presi- 
dent, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant 
Treasurer, and Chaplain shall be chosen by a majority of 
the votes present, to serve until the next regular general 
meeting, or until their successors are duly chosen. 

At each general meeting the circular letters which have 
been transmitted by the several State Societies shall be con- 
sidered, and all measures taken which shall conduce to the 
general welfare of the Society. 

The General Society shall have power at any meeting to 
admit State Societies thereto, and to entertain and determine 
all questions affecting the qualifications for membership in 
or the welfare of any State Society as may by proper 
memorial be presented by such State Society for considera- 
tion. 

Any male person above the age of twenty-one years, of 
good character, and a descendant of one who, as a military, 



1-2 

naval or marine officer, soldier, sailor or marine, in actual 
service, under the authority of any of the thirteen Colonies 
or States or of the Continental Congress, and remaining 
always loyal to such authority, or a descendant of one who 
signed the Declaration of Independence, or of one who, as a 
member of the Continental Congress or of the Congress of 
any of the Colonies or States, or as an official appointed by 
or under the authority of any such legislative bodies, actu- 
ally assisted in the establishment of American Independence 
by services rendered during the war of the Revolution, 
becoming thereby liable to conviction of treason against the 
government of Great Britain, but remaining always loyal to 
the authority of the Colonies or States, shall be eligible to 
membership in the Society. 

The Secretary of each State Society shall transmit to the 
General Secretary a list of the members thereof, together 
with the names and official designations of those from whom 
such members derive claim to membership, and thereafter 
upon the admission of members in each State Society, the 
Secretary thereof shall transmit to the General Secretary 
information respecting such members similar to that herein 
required. 

The Society shall have an insignia, which shall be a 
badge suspended from a ribbon by a ring of gold ; the badge 
to be elliptical in form, with escaloped edges, one and one- 
quarter inches in length, and one and one-eighth inches in 
width ; the whole surmounted by a gold eagle, with wings 
displayed, inverted ; on the obverse side a medallion of gold 
in the centre, elliptical in form, bearing on its face the figure 
of a soldier in Continental uniform, with musket slung ; 
beneath, the figures 1775 ; the medallion surrounded by 
thirteen raised gold stars of five points each upon a border 
of dark blue enamel. On the reverse side in the centre a 



13 

medallion corresponding in form to that on the obverse, and 
also in gold, bearing on its face the Houdon portrait of 
Washington in bas-relief, encircled by the legend, " Sons 
of the Revolution ;" beneath, the figures 1883 ; and upon the 
reverse of the eagle the number of the badge to be en- 
graved ; the medallion to be surrounded by a plain gold 
border, conforming in dimensions to the obverse ; the ribbon 
shall be dark blue, ribbed and watered, edged with buff, one 
and one-quarter inches wide, and one and one-half inches in 
displayed length. 

The insignia of the Society shall be worn by the members 
on all occasions when they assemble as such for any stated 
purpose or celebration, and may be worn on any occasion of 
ceremony ; it shall be carried conspicuously on the left 
breast, but members who are or have been officers of the 
Society may wear the insignia suspended from the ribbon 
around the neck. 

The custodian of the insignia shall be the General Secre- 
tary, who shall issue them to members of the Society under 
such proper rules as may be formulated by the General 
Society, and he shall keep a register of such issues wherein 
each insignia issued may be identified by the number 
thereof. 

The seal of the Society shall be one and seven-eighths 
inches in diameter, and shall consist of the figure of a Min- 
ute-man in Continental uniform, standing on a ladder lead- 
ing to a belfry ; in his left hand he holds a musket and an 
olive branch, whilst his right grasps a bell-rope ; above, the 
cracked Liberty Bell ; issuing therefrom a ribbon bearing 
the motto of the Society, Exegi monumentum cereperennius ; 
across the top of the ladder on a ribbon, the figures 1776 ; 
and on the left of the Minute-man, and also on a ribbon, the 
figures 1883, the year of the formation of the Society ; the 



14 



whole encircled by a band three-eighths of one inch wide ; 
thereon at the top thirteen stars of five points each ; at the 
bottom the name of the General Society, or of the State 
Society to which the seal belongs.

CONSTITUTION. 

Ipreamble. 

Whereas, it has become evident from the decline of 
proper celebration of such National holidays as the Fourth 
of July, Washington's Birthday, and the like, that popular 
interest in the events and men of the War of the Revolu- 
tion is less than in the earlier days of the Republic ; 

And Whereas, this lack of interest is to be attributed 
not so much to lapse of time as to the neglect on the 
part of descendants of Revolutionary heroes to perform 
their duty of keeping before the public mind the memory 
of the services of their ancestors, and of the times in 
which they lived, and of the principles for which they 
contended ; 

Therefore, the Society of the ''Sons of the Revo- 
lution" has been instituted, to perpetuate the memory 



16 



of the men who, in military, naval or civil service, by their 
acts or counsel, achieved American Independence ; to pro- 
mote and assist in the proper celebration of the anniver- 
saries of Washington's Birthday, the Battles of Lexington 
and Bunker Hill, the Fourth of July, the Capitulations of 
Saratoga and Yorktown, the formal Evacuation of New 
York by the British Army, on the 3d of December, 1783, 
as a relinquishment of territorial sovereignty, and other 
prominent events relating to or connected with the War 
of the Revolution ; to collect and secure for preservation 
the manuscript rolls, records and other documents and 
memorials relating to that War ; to inspire among the 
members and their descendants the patriotic spirit of their 
forefathers ; to inculcate in the community in general sen- 
timents of Nationality and respect for the principles for 
which the patriots of the Revolution contended ; to assist 
in the commemorative celebration of other great historical 
events of National importance, and to promote social inter- 
course and the feeling of fellowship among its members. 

ARTICLE I. 

mame of SoctetB. 

The Society shall be known by the name, style and title 
of " Sons of the Revolution." 

ARTICLE II. 

/iftcmbersblp. 
Any male person, above the age of twenty-one years, 
shall be eligible to membership in the "Sons of the Revo- 
lution " who is descended from an ancestor, as the propos- 
itus, who, either as a military, naval or marine officer, 
soldier, sailor, or marine, or official in the service of any 



17 



one of the thirteen original Colonies or States, or of the 
National Government representing or composed of those 
Colonies or States, assisted in establishing American Inde- 
pendence during the War of the Revolution, between the 
19th day of April, 1775, when hostilities commenced, and 
the 19th day of April, 1783, when they were ordered to cease. 

Provided: That when the claim of eligibility is based on 
the service of an ancestor in the ' ' minute men " or 
'' militia," it must be satisfactorily shown that such ances- 
tor was actually called into the service of the State or 
United States, and performed garrison or field duty ; and 

Provided further : That when the claim of eligibility is 
based on the service of an ancestor as a "sailor" or 
" marine," it must in like manner be shown that such ser- 
vice was other than shore duty and regularly performed in 
the Continental Navy, or the Navy of one of the original 
thirteen States, or on an armed vessel, other than a mer- 
chant ship, which sailed under letters of marque and 
reprisal, and that such ancestor of the applicant was duly 
enrolled in the ship's company, either as an officer, seaman 
or otherwise than as a passenger ; and 

Provided further : That when the claim of eligibility is 
based on the service of an ancestor as an " official," such 
service must have been performed in the civil service of the 
United States, or of one of the thirteen original States, and 
must have been sufficiently important in character to have 
rendered the official specially liable to arrest and imprison- 
ment, the same as a combatant, if captured by the enemy, 
as well as liable to conviction of treason against the Gov- 
ernment of Great Britain, 

Service in the ordinary duties of a civil office, the per- 
formance of which did not particularly and effectively aid 
the American Cause shall not constitute eligibility. 



18 



Provided further : That when there shall be no surviv- 
ing issue in direct lineal succession from an officer, soldier, 
sailor or marine who died or was killed while in actual ser- 
vice as aforesaid, or from an officer who received, by for- 
mal resolve, the approbation of the Continental Congress 
for revolutionary services, or from a Signer of the Declara- 
tion of Independence, the claim of eligibility shall descend 
and be limited to one representative at a time in the near- 
est collateral line of descent from such propositus, who 
may be otherwise qualified as herein required, and to be 
designated by the Society ; and no other descendants in 
collateral lines shall be admitted in right of any services 
whatever. 

In the construction of this article, the Volunteer Aides de 
Camp of General Officers in Continental Service, who were 
duly announced as such and who actually served in the 
field during a campaign, shall be comprehended as having 
performed qualifying service. 

The civil officials and military forces of the State of Ver- 
mont, during the War of the Revolution, shall also be com- 
prehended in the same manner as if they had belonged to 
one of the thirteen original States. 

No service of an ancestor shall be deemed as qualifying 
service for membership in the "Sons of the Revolution" 
where such ancestor, after assisting in the cause of Ameri- 
can Independence, shall have subsequently either adhered 
to the enemy, or failed to maintain an honorable record 
throughout the War of the Revolution. 

No person shall be admitted unless he be eligible under 
one of the provisions of this Article nor unless he be of good 
moral character and be judged worthy o becoming a 
member.

formance of any obligation enjoined by the Constitution or 
By-Laws or any standing Rule of this Society. Provided,

which the Society shall not have filled by an election, the 
Board of Managers shall have power to appoint a member 
to such office pro tempore, who shall act in such capacity 
until the Society shall elect a member to the vacant office, 
or until the inability due to " suspension, absence, sickness or 



33

of President or Secretary shall not thus be filled by the 
Board of Managers, when there shall be a Vice-President or 
Assistant Secretary to enter upon the duties of those offices 
respectively.

vacancies among its members, under the same conditions 
and limitations ; and in case any member thereof, other than 
an officer, shall be absent from three consecutive meetings 
of the same, his place therein may be declared vacant by

or not properly authenticated. The Society, or the Board of 
Managers, may, at any time after thirty days' notice to such 
person to properly substantiate or authenticate his claim, 
require the Secretary to erase his name from the list of 
members, and such person shall thereupon cease to be a 
member : Provided, he shall have failed or neglected to 
comply satisfactorily with such notice. 

Where the Board of Managers shall direct the erasure of 
a person's name for a cause comprehended under this sec- 
tion, such person shall have a right of appeal to the next 
annual meeting of the Society ; but he shall not be restored 
to membership unless by a vote of three-fourths of the
